President Trump and VP Vance's treatment of President Zelenskyy doesn’t represent us as a nation and is disrespectful to Ukraine, our ally that Russia invaded. U.S. foreign policy should be about democratic values — not this twisted protection racket that Trump wants to run.
As the son of a public school teacher, I took to the Senate floor today to oppose Linda McMahon's nomination to lead the Department of Education. She wants to dismantle the Department and privatize our public schools. For the sake of students across the country, we can't let her.
Another day, another example of Elon Musk's massive conflicts of interest. This time he's cutting the agency responsible for roadway safety — right as they’re investigating his company. Pretty convenient!
Couldn't agree more with Senator Reed. Firing our nation's most skilled and experienced military leaders will undermine our military readiness. Our armed forces only owe their allegiance to supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States — not the President.
Elon Musk wants to turn the U.S. government into his personal ATM. He's throwing everyday Americans under the bus while securing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts for himself.   Republicans need to work with us to investigate his HUGE conflicts of interest.
Three years ago, Russia invaded Ukraine on Vladimir Putin's orders. The Ukrainian people have spent every day since fighting valiantly to defend their home, and their democracy. President Trump must not roll over to Putin's demands. America must stand with Ukraine.
Senate Republicans just voted down an amendment that would have stopped cuts to Medicaid from being used to pay for tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. They’re throwing working families under the bus again.
The budget the Republicans are putting on the floor tonight will cut essential services that millions of American families rely on. All so they can pay for tax cuts for their billionaire buddies. I'm going to spend all night fighting back.
I voted NO on Kash Patel’s nomination to be FBI Director. He’s made it clear that he answers to President Trump, not the law. We can’t confirm someone to lead our top law enforcement agency who will put targeting the President’s so-called “enemies” ahead of protecting Americans.
Linda McMahon has no idea what public school teachers need to successfully teach their students. I'm standing with our students and teachers, and voting NO on McMahon for Secretary of Education.
The Great Lakes are in our DNA as Michiganders. I’m proud to lead bipartisan legislation to extend and expand the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative so we can keep preserving them for future generations.
Trump fired more than 1,000 VA workers. That means longer wait times for veterans trying to receive care. Our veterans have earned their benefits and we have a sacred obligation to take care of them when they come home. Trump's order flies in the face of that.
President Trump can't rewrite history. Ukraine didn't start this war. Putin invaded, and the Ukrainian people have spent the last three years valiantly defending their home. Trump is betraying our Western democratic allies by negotiating on behalf of Russia.
Hey! I'm Michigan's senior U.S. Senator Gary Peters. I love our Great Lakes, my motorcycle, and sticking up for working families. Follow along to see how I'm delivering for Michigan and fighting back against Trump’s dangerous agenda. Excited to be here! Let's ride 🏍️ 🏍️ 🏍️
